en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet has approved the free transfer of 550 square meters of Nazul land to Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) for the construction of a station and elevated section of the Agra Metro Corridor-2 (Agra Cantt to Kalindi Vihar stretch). The decision was made at a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, aiming to accelerate infrastructure development and improve urban mobility in Agra.
The land parcel involved in this transfer is located in Mauja Chak Avval village, Sadar Tehsil, Agra district, bearing Plot No. 618 and Nazul Plot No. 1619. It was previously vacant Nazul land within the Regional Employment Office campus. The state government has approved the free transfer and handover of the land to UPMRC, subject to certain conditions and restrictions, while waiving the applicable charges at the prevailing District Magistrate circle rate. The proposal was recommended by the Agra District Magistrate and pursued at the request of the UPMRC Managing Director.
Agra Metro Corridor-2 is a vital transit link connecting Agra Cantt to Kalindi Vihar. Once completed, it will improve connectivity between major residential and commercial areas and link key transportation hubs across the city. Given that Agra is one of India's most visited heritage destinations, the project is also considered to effectively support tourist mobility. The Uttar Pradesh government stated that this cabinet approval is being treated as a special case and will not set a precedent for future land transfers.
The Agra Metro project is regarded as a crucial infrastructure initiative aimed at reducing traffic congestion, improving public transport accessibility, and promoting sustainable urban mobility in the historic city by expanding the modern urban transit network. With the land issue resolved, construction activities on Corridor-2 are expected to accelerate, thereby contributing to the long-term development of Agra's public transport ecosystem.
